William Berg's enthusiasm for horses and natural curiosity led him to investigate the origin of the distinctive Pinto and Appaloosa horses of the northern plains tribes. His research brought him to the conclusion that the Nez Percé had a significant role in the careful breeding and distribution of these horses. A natural story-teller, Berg illustrates the points in his theory with tales of early explorers and adventurers. This is a terrific book for equine enthusiasts interested in the history of horse breeds.
